Which brands are putting people and planet before profit? Find your favourite brands, shop with your conscience, be vocal.
The global fashion industry employs 50 million people worldwide. While it can be a source of opportunity, for too many indignity and abuse, and low-wages and modern slavery are rife. Consumerism, mass production, and the constant demand for more, has fuelled this injustice while the industry has turned a blind eye to the impact they’re having on the environment and carbon emissions.
But fashion brands have the greatest power to affect change in the global fashion industry. And we, as consumers, can use our influence to affect change in each brand.
Use the Ethical Fashion Guide to search for your favourite fashion brands next time you shop. Find out which companies are doing the most to protect workers and the environment and shop accordingly. While you’re at it, if you think there is a brand that could be doing better, let them know.
Be part of the change. Find your favourite brands, shop with your conscience, and be vocal using our Speak Out to Brands Tool.
